World Cup 2014 – Quarterfinals are here!

After a very exciting Round of 16, the Quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup 2014 are kicking off today! At the end of the day tomorrow, we'll know who the Semifinalists are - France, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Belgium, The Netherlands and Costa Rica will be the stars of this stage, but only four will advance.

Before we get into that, though, let's do a very quick recap of the Round of 16 in case you missed it: Colombia beat Uruguay in a simpler match than most would have expected; France struggled some but finally beat Nigeria; Netherlands almost lost but turned the game around in the final few minutes to beat Mexico; Germany, Argentina, and Belgium struggled a whole lot but won in overtime; Costa Rica beat Greece in a breathtaking match, after penalty kicks; and Brazil got lucky and beat Chile, also in penalty kicks.

Now, back to the Quarterfinals! Here's the lineup for today and tomorrow:
